EIDA - July

And I found myself collapsing
Terrified beyond a doubt
Mir Zafars are masquerading
Headlines they never shout

Outside, a warfield
Sirens and smokescreen
Bloodstains on backpacks
Suddenly the sky attacks

Sound grenades, tear shells
Make the rooftop a living hell
TV screens like garbage bins
And yet somehow you cannot win

Kill the kids, blind their friends
Pretend like something else happened
But tell me how you kill the will?
Tell me how do you kill the will?

See the wave, it’s turning red now
Roll call the dead, we’re all of them now

Concrete trembling
Slogans unsettling
One street, one beat
One call, one creed

The ghosts from nameless families
Forever may they keep haunting me
Malnourished faces meant to die
By gunshot or by poverty

Kill the kids, blind their friends
Pretend like something else happened
But tell me how you kill the will?
Tell me how do you kill the will?

Every single minute wasted in bureaucratic lines
Every single coin passed over to clear my own files
Every threat, every plea dismissed
Every propaganda press release
Every live round, every swollen eye
And every other mass outcry
Everything will testify
Remember, remember
The massacre of July

From the hills to the sea
We remember everything
Call your guns and your kingpins
We multiply in the coming spring

Kill the kids, blind their friends
Pretend like something else happened
But tell me how you kill the will?
Tell me how do you kill the will

I am a নাগরিক
Shut your mouth, keep serving me
Get more hands and wipe them clean
We multiply in the coming spring

I m 45 now. এই গানটা লিটারেলি আমাকে কাঁদিয়ে ছাড়ে....মিউজিকটা সহ্য করতে পারি না। এই একটু আগেও আজ গাড়িতে গানটা শুনছিলাম, নিজের অজান্তেই দুচোখ বেয়ে অঝোর ধারায় জল গড়িয়ে I couldn't control myself....I couldn't resist 😢

EIDA....Hats off to you

That's so wholesome of y'all to make a song regarding current issue when most of the bengali bands have kept their mouth shut -

[rohanzucc]

Pure final boss moments. Literally ghosted music industry for 5 years and now that the country needs them, they are here. Love and respect from the bottom of my heart.

[.samiakhan]

this song needs international recognition

[Lisassphere]

My Psychogenic shiver is at its peak, goosebumps everywhere the energy is surging again damnn

[NostalgicTuneee]

''Tell me how do you kill the will?''
Total song is a grenade itself ☝️

[rubayatharun]

It's so nice to see EIDA's return to contribute in the battlefield. Been a core band for me for years now, it sucks that I never got to see one of your shows.

"we multiply in the coming spring" this line literally just stole my heart. its so insane how y'all turned our slogans into song lyrics. this is an absolute masterpiece. thank you so much for crafting this invaluable art.

The aggression beneath the song is just unbelievable! Hats off...

"ছেলেমেয়েদের জেলখানায় ঢোকানোর সময় নাম ডাকতে ডাকতে হাঁফিয়ে উঠেছিলেন ডেপুটি জেলার সাহেব। একসময়ে বিরক্তির স্বরে বললেন, ‘উহ্, এত ছেলেকে জায়গা দেব কোথায়!’ জেলখানা তো এমনিতেই ভর্তি হয়ে আছে। ও কথা শুনে একজন বললেন, ‘এতেই ঘাবড়ে গেলেন নাকি? আসছে ফাল্গুনে আমরা কিন্তু দ্বিগুণ হব।’" -- আরেক ফাল্গুন (উপন্যাস) ১৯৬৯– জহির রায়হান
